Barbara Carol McWhorter

Barbara Carol McWhorter passed away on February 14, 2025 at the age of 83. She was born on March 30, 1941 in Big Spring, Texas to Earshall and Lillian (Wilson) Hagood. Barbara lived a life that echoed warmth, compassion, and creativity.

A proud graduate of Monterrey High School, where she completed her studies in 1959, Barbara carried the lessons from her formative years into a life filled with purpose and love. Barbara had a passion for quilting and would spend countless hours crafting beautiful lap quilts, which she generously gifted to local nursing homes. 

Barbara's interests extended beyond quilting; she was also an avid genealogy researcher, through the research she would find graves that had metal markers and would have a headstone made for those graves.
